Extinction



    Kirk Johnson recently did a lecture addressing this.  He collected 500 
Hell Creek floral specimens, and was able to show that during the K/T 
boundary there was an 80% floral extinction.  Mainly broadleaf plants.  The 
remaining 20% were mainly swampland plants.  Don't know if this helps.  More 
research would, though/
